These giant numbers are hard for some to understand, so let me break it down..
Jeff Bezos is now worth $191B Officially — The “Richest Human On Planet Earth"
MINDBLOWING Fact:
(He could actually buy 382,000 of these exact yachts at $500M Per..)
ProjectY721 costs $500M to build and will cost a reportedly, $63M per year in operating cost.
That's a lot of zeros every year..
So.. let’s put this in perspective
This is the equivalent of a man that makes a great living at $70,000 a year..
His operating cost would cost him a whole $23 per year.
This Was Supposed To Be In Secret..
It’s no secret the ex-Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos, has made some major shifts in his life here recently — making headlines around the world for multiple major life changes in 2020 alone.
The divorce, stepping down as Amazon’s CEO, raking in all that profit from the unfortunate world pandemic, (He purchased this boat pre-pandemic, btw),
but one ‘big move’ that’s lesser-known to the public.
Or, at least it was supposed to be..
The hairless-billionaire, (I know.. but I had to..), Mr. Jeff Bezos has placed a MASSIVE order with world-renowned superyacht manufacturer, Oceanco.
Above and below you will see photos of Oceanco’s stunning company website, some of their fleet, and the location of the Oceanco company properties.
NOTE: They really have a beautiful website. Very well designed and looks perfect. I recommend checking them out!
Oceanco, based out of The Netherlands, is known for building some of the most expensive eye-pleasing yachts for the world’s highest in society, the most elite figures around the world.
Although Oceanco is used to fulfilling only the most absurd feature-boasting yacht orders..
This was still not a typical order for the luxurious Dutch boat maker, as he (Mr. Bezos) un-humbly “one-upped” “BOOYAAH" his billionaire predecessors before him, that have placed a “big boy boat" order.
How?
First off.. Jeff needs two superyachts!
That’s right.. His superyacht apparently needs a yacht.
His over-the-top, multi-level — massive three-masted floating sea vessel needs some backup, and they’re calling it.. the “support" yacht. (Vessel#2 is reportedly the yacht that boasts a helipad)
Above: One of the many beautiful luxous boat maker, Oceanco builds and sells. This specific photo is from their eye-pleasing website, www.oceancoyacht.com.
He didn’t order just one of the world’s most luxurious superyachts, he actually placed an order for TWO superyachts, proudly commissioned by one of the top yacht designers & constructing companies in the world, Oceanco.
Respectively, Oceanco is based out of The Netherlands. The Netherlands is the unofficial boat-making capital of the world.
“The whole “Bezos just ordered two massive freaking yachts” was supposed to be on the low-low.”
This is what I was able to find out about the billionaire, who founded Amazon, Jeff Bezo’s newest boat flex(s)
When you’ve amassed a world record fortune and took the title for “The Richest Man On Earth" ($120B), and you step down from the prestigious position as Chief Executive Officer of Amazon (which he obviously also created), just months after getting a Times cover-worthy divorce..
I may suck, but.. you naturally, for whatever reason, build a following (on Twitter, too) that is made up, of tens of millions, of “curious to see behind the curtain" pack of loyal followers.
Making it nearly impossible to do anything completely in private, especially when you purchase not one, but two of the most advanced luxury floating sea vessels, known to man.
We want to see what you’re spending your fortune on. This is what I was able to find out about the billionaire, who founded Amazon, Jeff Bezo’s newest boat flex(s).
Does It Really Need A Second Yacht To Play The Role Of, What Experts ArA “Support” Yacht?
Yes.
I’m no “yacht expert" just a regular guy that claims to be a full-time writer on Medium.
All the specifics about what exactly this “support" superyacht is going to be doing, I’m lost.
I’m sure it will be used as a tow-type vessel in some cases, maybe.
I'm sure, it’s probably faster than the “larger than a football field” Main yacht.
I can’t say that I know 100% why exactly he’s placing a helipad on the deck of vessel #2.
We’re only putting two and two together when we say..
His new gal, Lauren Sánchez does have her helicopter license and is legal to fly the estimated $60M chopper — that will float along, sitting atop’ Vessel #2 ..of “Project Y721".
It bothers me that CNN and other news outlets want to publish their “Breaking News” articles trying to portray& paint Jeff Bezos, as a villain..
For what? …for accidentally creating a badass company that made him uber-wealthy?!
Would you be smiling if it were you?

Bezos & girlfriend Lauren Sánchez was already living the yacht life and could be spotted pretty regularly in the scene, both, seen here boarding a yacht, recently.
Either way, I’m Adam and I’m a creator, I’m one of you..
Someone that enjoys digging into the o’so mighty internet, and lightly follow the lives of some of the world’s most elite.. doesn’t piss me off..
IT INSPIRES ME!
It makes me realize anything is possible, opportunities are endless, we CAN do whatever we want, it makes me want to work harder.
It should you, too!
